Salome (1882) by the French painter Jean Baptiste Hippolyte de Vergeses (1847-1896).
Vergeses depicts here the biblical Salome in an oriental look, like the popular oriental paintings of this time. She looks more like a kind of Scheherazade in One Thousand and One Nights than a biblical woman. Only the head on the plate leaves no doubt about who she really is.
